Michael Hingson

WHAT I DO: I write books. I do podcast interviews with really interesting people on my "Unstoppable Mindset Podcast. I love doing keynote speeches and talks all over the world about my experience as a blind survivor of 9-11. I use my experiences to assist companies, organizations, and individuals in creating a more inclusive world. Also, I travel internationally speaking to and inspiring audiences with talks on Trust, Teamwork, Diversity and Change. As the Chief Vision Officer for AccessiBe, I also help people understand why it's important to have an online presence that is inclusive and ADA compliant. It's the right thing to do. I provide training on adaptive technology for the blind. HOW I DO IT. Your company or organization needs different lenses to see how you can be inclusive and practice diversity. My experience and how I show up in the world gives me a unique perspective in how you can effectively assist your people in growing in this area. I will gladly consult with your organization to help shape a healthy culture of inclusion and diversity.  Our team at AccessiBe will also help you understand not only the risk you run in today's litigious culture by not having an ADA compliant website or online presence, but as one of the leaders in ADA compliance technology, we'll show you how to do it, and why it's simply the right thing to do.
